Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 214 - 213: Were You a Pixiu in Your Past Life?! (Part 2)

Chapter 214: Chapter 213: Were You a Pixiu in Your Past Life?! (Part 2)

Yun Ran originally had no curiosity about the protagonist’s original background, whether it was Qu Ying, the female protagonist, or her mysterious biological father, she was not curious.

After all, she wasn’t the original protagonist; she didn’t care about the things the original protagonist did, and even though she bore some karma, she wouldn’t follow the predestined fate of the original protagonist.

But now it seems, this is no longer possible, this world within the book, is much more dangerous than she had imagined.

Those things that could be written in ink are too few and too one-sided; nobody knows what else might be hidden underneath the surface of this world within the book.

Yun Ran looked again at the altar destroyed by the laser cannon, clearly, it wasn’t something that was just made recently, but rather had existed for a very, very long time.

This means that for a very long time, people have been using this method of sacrifice to try and take shortcuts.

Whether anyone has succeeded in the past, Yun Ran doesn’t know, but she’s certain that there must be more similar altars, and those who know of their existence are hiding in the dark.

Those were portals to the Immortal World, how could they not induce greed in people? She had mistakenly opened it.

Nobody knows if the events that have transpired this time will attract the attention of those with ulterior motives, and even within the Special Administration Bureau, Yun Ran can’t guarantee there aren’t any spies.

The Water Dragon Dragon Spirit who knew this secret had been subjected to two Prohibitions by her, so she could be somewhat at ease for now.

And then there were those implements that, for some reason, seemed more spine-chilling the more she looked at them, giving her the impression that they were no good.

At this moment, Yun Ran truly felt that sense of powerlessness that came with being a ’sacrifice,’ as if she couldn’t trust anyone around her.

Fortunately, she had stolen some fragments of the altar and planned to meticulously research them later; those things that even Heavenly Thunder could not shatter posed a significant threat to her.

Thinking of something, Yun Ran’s gaze turned to those people now lying on the ground, although they had passed out by now.

But who could guarantee they hadn’t heard or seen something before passing out; if someone with an agenda were to probe their memories, she might get exposed.

Those people wouldn’t let her off simply because she denies involvement or there’s no evidence.

The ones who would use human lives for sacrifices lack the normal human values and moral bottom line; they would grab at her, exploiting any sliver of a chance without hesitation.

While Gu Yuan was busy looking around, Yun Ran silently placed a special Prohibition on each of those lying on the ground.

Anyone who tried to delve into their memories would be detected by her, and all memories from the moment she entered the place were erased.

Her complexion, which had improved slightly, turned deathly pale after she coughed up blood following the imposition of the Prohibition.

Upon hearing Yun Ran cough up blood again, Gu Yuan quickly turned to look at her.

"What’s wrong? Haven’t your injuries been stabilized already?"

Yun Ran could see Gu Yuan’s genuine concern for her, but for the sake of her own life, she still reached out to him.

Gu Yuan’s eyes briefly glazed over, then he heard a disembodied voice: "When you arrived, you only saw Yun Ran half-dead and unconscious, with those people saved by you."

Repeating the words in a daze, Gu Yuan then saw a flash of white light, his eyes slowly closing. After a few seconds, he opened his eyes again.

Throughout the process, he had no idea what had happened, and when he came to, he found himself half-kneeling and looking at Yun Ran on the ground.

He was still puzzled: what was he intending to do?

Then, seeing the fresh blood vomited by Yun Ran on the ground, he didn’t have the time to think about it and hurriedly shouted to the Little Paperman, "Bring the medicine quickly!"

After uttering this sentence, Gu Yuan was momentarily taken aback; hey, how did he know the medicine was on the Little Paperman?

Little Paperman: ...

Could they say that their master hadn’t fainted but simply closed her eyes on her own?

But the Little Paperman, holding the medicine, obediently flew over, clutching a medicine bottle in its hands.

Its plump hands produced a pill the size of its hand and stuffed it into Yun Ran’s mouth.

Yun Ran slowly opened her eyes: "Ouch, my chest hurts, I want to report a work-related injury!"

Just when Gu Yuan was about to be worried to death, Yun Ran started by thinking of her own benefits, which left him speechless.

"You must have been born in the year of the Pixiu in your last life!"

Yun Ran’s chest really did hurt, but after taking the medicine, a cool sensation passed through her internal organs, and she felt somewhat better.

After coughing lightly twice, she then spoke solemnly, "I am fighting for my own benefits."

What could Gu Yuan say? Since Yun Ran was his lifesaver and the person he could entrust his back to, naturally, he would side with her.

The Special Administration Bureau’s benefits are indeed great; why should some wastrels enjoy good food and drink when Yun Ran can’t?

"Don’t worry, I’ll report it at the highest compensation rate!"

The Special Administration Bureau’s people arrived quickly; to be precise, from the very first message sent by Yun Ran and her group, Xie Xuzhi had already been keeping an eye on them.

He appeared calm and composed, but only he knew how restless his heart was.

It wasn’t until Yun Ran sent another message for the Special Administration Bureau to come to clean up the mess that Xie Xuzhi stood up without a hint of hesitation and headed out.

Those dignitaries who had previously been seated with closed eyes, meditating in divine serenity, also followed closely behind Xie Xuzhi.

The Tan Family also wanted to follow, but they were stopped.

"Mr. Tan, the matters we need to deal with are not covered by the previous cooperation agreement. We will bring our people back; you shouldn’t interfere with the other matters!"

The blocked Tan Chengbi felt somewhat displeased, his gaze fixed on the retreating figure of Xie Xuzhi.

At this moment, he finally believed what Xie Xuzhi had said before: Yun Ran really hadn’t approached him for some ulterior motive.

From start to finish, Young Master Xie of the Xie Family never considered him as an equal. Naturally, his subordinates didn’t need to pay him any mind.

There was no need to doubt Yun Ran anymore, which should have been a joyous realization. After all, the only confidant who could appreciate his work and share his aesthetic was Yun Ran alone.

But when he recognized the fact that he couldn’t be compared with Xie Xuzhi, Tan Chengbi felt a sense of defeat for the first time.

The assistant glanced at his young master and knew that this was the typical problem of never having faced hardships in life, common among the scions of top-tier affluent families.

"Young master, it’s already quite late. Why don’t you go and rest? Lady Yun and Young Master Xie are professionals.

Leaving the matters to them won’t be a problem. Maybe by the time you wake up, everything will be settled."

Tan Chengbi: ...
